"A city at work," said the Chemist with a wave of his hand. "Shall we go down and see it?" His three friends assented readily, the Very Young Man suggesting promptly that they first visit Lylda's father and Aura. "He is teaching Loto this morning," said the Chemist smiling. "Why not go to the court?" suggested the Big Business Man. "Is the public admitted?" asked the Doctor.
We must wait here for Lylda. Reoh and Aura must stay with us. Then we can decide how to rescue Loto and what to do after that. But we must keep together." "Jack ought to be here by now," said the Big Business Man. "I hope Reoh and Aura come with him." For over an hour they waited, and still the Very Young Man did not come.
All the labor and expense they bore themselves, which amounted to no small matter. Ala Loto Alofa, they called it, the Road of the Loving Hearts. Warlike outbreaks were not infrequent near Vailima. The woods were often full of scouting parties and the roll of drums could be heard. One day as Stevenson and Mrs. Strong were writing together they were interrupted by a war party crossing the lawn.
His voice was a little husky, and held none of the confidence his words were intended to convey. Lylda was upon her feet now, standing beside the Chemist. She stared towards Orlog searchingly, then turned to him and said quietly, "It must be Jack and Aura, with Loto." She stopped with quivering lips; then with an obvious effort went on confidently.
We found a peaceful world. Dissatisfaction in it yes. But certainly a more peaceful world than the one we left. We've been here one day one day, Frank, and now look at things. This child, Loto stolen. Jack disappeared God knows what's happened to him. A revolution the whole place in an uproar. All in one day, since we took our place in this world and tried to mix up in its affairs.
"You are sure he will come?" the child asked anxiously again. "It is certain, Loto if you are asleep." Loto kissed his mother and shook hands solemnly with the men a grave, dignified little figure. "Good night, Loto," said the Big Business Man. "Good night, sir. Good night, my father good night, mamita; I shall be asleep very soon." And with a last look at the stocking he ran out of the room.
After Madame de Dey had arranged the card parties, placing some guests at the boston, and some at the whist tables, she stood talking to a number of young people with extreme ease and liveliness of manner, playing her part like a consummate actress. Presently she suggested a game of loto, and offered to find the box, on the ground that she alone knew where it was, and then she disappeared.
He wanted to comfort her, but he could think of no word to say; he wanted to help her to do the best thing in what he saw was a grave crisis. What he should have done was to have taken her back to the Chemist and his friends, and then with them planned the rescue of Loto.
Their favourite pastime was a game which they called "House," which was known to many of us when we were children as Loto. It is an exceedingly dull game, and I cannot believe that the men would have played it as they did if any other kind of game had been possible. There is a mild element of gambling about House. A small sum of money may be won, a very small sum lost.
"Never have I been in the Great Forests," Loto answered, turning his big, serious eyes up to his friend's face. "I shall not be afraid with my father, and mamita, and with you." "The Great Forests won't seem very big, Loto, after a little while," the Very Young Man said. "And of course you won't be afraid of anything.
